Hello folks. @ritawilson and I want to thank everyone here Down Under who are taking such good care of us. We have Covid-19 and are in isolation so we do not spread it to anyone else. There are those for whom it could lead to a very serious illness. We are taking it one-day-at-a-time. There are things we can all do to get through this by following the advice of experts and taking care of ourselves and each other, no? Remember, despite all the current events, there is no crying in baseball. Hanx

The 63-year-old actor and his wife were on the Gold Coast for the pre-production of Baz Lurhmann's Elvis Presley biopic when they were diagnosed with coronavirus.

The two were briefly hospitalised and then released into quarantine at an undisclosed Australian address.

The actor tweeted this week that they were feeling better.

The actor documented his illness on social media, reminding everyone of the importance of self-isolating in the pandemic.

"Sheltering in place works like this: You don't give it to anyone – You don't get it from anyone. Common sense, no?" he wrote.

"Going to take a while, but if we take care of each other, help where we can, and give up some comforts … this, too, shall pass. We can figure this out."
